HOLYOKE, Mass.--(BUSINESS WIRE)--May 4, 1999--DataProfit Corporation, providers of
business systems that help guide customers to the next level, today announced that it is now an
approved Business Partner for Hewlett-Packard Company (HP). As a result of this business
partnership, companies can now implement J.D. Edwards' flagship OneWorld™ Enterprise
Resource Planning (ERP) and supply chain management software on Hewlett-Packard hardware.
A full-service provider and system integrator, DataProfit offers technical and project management
professionals certified not only in Hewlett-Packard equipment, but also in J.D. Edwards
applications and Oracle databases. DataProfit is already prepared to implement J.D. Edwards
software in computing environments involving the HP 9000 Unix-based Enterprise Server and the
HP Intel-based NetServer.
"We chose DataProfit because of their technical and business expertise in ERP and supply-chain
management solutions, as well as their great track record offering added-value to customers," said
Jim Jensen, Global Alliance Manager, Computer Channels Organization, of Hewlett-Packard. "As
one of the few systems integrators with an established J.D. Edwards and Oracle customer base,
DataProfit is a company we are pleased to bring into the HP Business Partner program."
"DataProfit is excited about its increased ability to compete in the enterprise computing
marketplace by partnering with Hewlett-Packard to offer our customers a total enterprise
solution," said Alan M. Scrivner, DataProfit president. "This partnership reinforces our
commitment to offer customers the combined benefits of world-class hardware and software by
handling all of the intricacies of installation, implementation, and customization," he added.
DataProfit clients range from regional players to Fortune 500 companies. The company has
expanded its service offerings considerably in recent years, fueling tremendous growth. In 1997,
the company established an Oracle services practice as part of its Information Technology group,
and added network integration services to its product offerings.
In 1998, DataProfit was named to the Fast 500 list of high-growth technology companies as cited
in the November 30 Forbes ASAP magazine; joined the high- profile Inc. 500 list of
fastest-growing, privately-held companies; and won a New England Technology Fast 50 award.
Privately held DataProfit has been growing at more than 100% per year.
In 1997 J.D. Edwards presented DataProfit with the "Solution Partner of the Year" award, its
highest distinction. For the past three years, the company also received "Business Partner of the
Year" award for Client Services and numerous " Mark of Excellence" awards from J.D. Edwards.
